Pd supported NPs were obtained through polyols method using PVP. The NPs were successfully cleaned through electrochemical procedure, which can be monitored by analyzing the CV profiles obtained during cycling. HR-TEM experiments are performed in order to evaluate how the cycling procedure affects the NPs structure.
